You can read it that way, but I think it’s clear he meant: “wasn’t big enough [a name] for Southampton [fans] but I’m big enough for Charlton [fans]”. He was speaking to delusions around Southampton and those delusions of grandeur resulting in not accepting his vision for how he wanted them to play. And that we are accepting of him because we’re better grounded.Braziliance said:I was trying to find that quote where Jones said he didn't join a league one club, he joined Charlton and I noticed this.
Bit off topic, but it reads a bit like a bit of a back handed compliment? 😂

At the right point in time he is on record as wanting to manage a side he loves, just don’t think this is that moment for a multitude of reasons. If Cardiff had stayed in the Championship and us in League One I would be more concerned.7

I for one can’t wait for our 1st signing to be announced so we can all start arguing about that rather than pages of this bollocks !!!
FFS Jones isn’t going anywhere!! He might be mental but he ain’t that mental6 -
Depends how many season tickets they want to sell.carly burn said:
Don't think they really need that at the moment..Lazy_eye_metaphor said:If there's really nothing in this rumour, I reckon either the club or NJ himself should make an appropriate press statement without further delay.If it's true, God help us.
They're all on a well deserved break and probably not thinking about anything football related.
We'll have to wait.0 -

There is an interview where he gives a longer answer about it. He says, looking back, that some of the players didn’t think he was a big enough name and wouldn’t hear what he was trying to say. It was replicated by some of the fans and it just became an unfortunate period.2 -
From Cardiff fans this afternoon
Des Buckingham expected to be named Cardiff new manager on Monday , let’s support him
apparently Iain Evett was their number one choice but looks like he now going to Plymouth ?

Whoever the manager is though I’ll back them 100%. Just hope the hierarchy keep to any promises they make"

Asked my Welsh football group chat about Abbandonato's pedigree as a journo and got this back. He's been dismissed in that chat before as well. So I'd take anything he's saying with pinches of salt8 -

Buckingham is an excellent appointment tbh. As long as Tan doesn't start meddling again they should be right up there.5

Tbh I couldn’t care less at who they appoint as long as it’s not Jones !MarcusH26 said:Buckingham is an excellent appointment tbh. As long as Tan doesn't start meddling again they should be right up there.5 -
Dated yesterday?
If true, and Plymouth were making a move for Buckingham, the Jones rumour was started to pressure Buckingham into signing a contract at Cardiff.
Edit: Yep, just seen their forum. This was before the Jones rumour.1 -
I hope so, but this was posted after the picture shared above:AberystwythAddick said:Looks like it will be Buckinghams Bluebirds by this time tomorrow, if not we can panic again!
"Not going to bother replying to most people on this thread now.
I was told what I was in good faith and I posted it on here.
I stand by that it's true. Sounds like there's a delay because of the Jones possibility."
Would seem they do infact want Jones, but maybe not optimistic around landing him?0 -

Unlikely. The trumpet deal was last Sunday week.usetobunkin said:I will only believe it is true when “ Jones seen in Lidl Cardiff, buying a trumpet and an arc welder, and a jar of beetroot “ floats out on Cardiff forum.Can’t be too many left anywhere, let alone Cardiff.0 -
That is true, but non major tournament/Olympic ones are a special kind of crazycharlton_hero said:

Can currently get 8/1 on Buckingham, if it was that close the odds would definitely be shorterAberystwythAddick said:Looks like it will be Buckinghams Bluebirds by this time tomorrow, if not we can panic again!1 -
Not necessarily, if enough people are lumping on Jones then Buckingham's odds will stay longer than they shouldpaulie8290 said:

You wouldn’t blame him for leaving to go to a much bigger club, even if it means dropping down a division. Charlton was always going to be a stepping stone for him.43

This is the only thing that worries me about the speculation. Why haven’t they appointed someone sooner? They have had enough time and all the other candidates seem to be out of work. Our season finishes and rumours surface Jones is in the frame. If they were not interested surely they’d have appointed someone else by now.carly burn said:Jones leaving would be a disaster for both him at Cardiff and us..
He said last week we are already 3 weeks behind. Sorting out compensation and recruiting a new manager would take weeks and weeks.
Cardiff need to act quickly for the same reason. They've been without a permanent manager since late April.
They need to get a new manager in ASAP so they can identify and bring in the players he wants.
Don't forget Jones wouldn't be afforded the free hit he got with us in his first half season. Cardiff and especially Tan will expect results and quickly.
I really don't thinks Jones will see the worth in it at this very moment.0 -
Nathan jones now joint fav. Was 5/1 yesterday. Now 5/6 with Ramsey. Buckingham 8/10
